Auto Cook, the real one, not the AI copies.

So you are here ? Ah.. you're bored of spending your life preparing your next meal. You've come to the right place.

How to initiate the food preparation ?

  • You need an empty Bowl, Frying Pan or Griddle Pan.
  • You need accessible food.
  • See your Character Info Panel 'Cook' tab for more options.
  • Right click on the Bowl / Pan in your inventory and left click on "Auto Cook XXX"

FAQ

  • Option to open canned / jarred food is broken and deactivated until I find a way in B42.
  • Works on all evolved recipes, only on evolved recipes, not on simple recipes.
  • Requires empty container (There is an option to complete existing meals but I advise against it).
  • Can be added / remove any save any time.
  • Works for B42 and further versions.
  • Use this other mod for B41 and previous versions.
  • If you still have questions, ask on Official PZ Discord: mod_support channel.
